This is the ugliest animal in the world

The blobfish has more than earned its unofficial title of world’s ugliest animal. The gloomy looking fish is a deep-sea dweller that lives off the coast of Australia, and handily defeated its more attractive competitors by almost 10,000 votes in an Ugliest Animal election put on by the Ugly Animal Preservation Society, the BBC reported Thursday.

Runners-up included the kakapo, the world’s only flightless parrot, and the axolotl, a salamander without the ability to breathe on land.
